Default Compressor opinion

I searched and found that a few of you are running the cheap portable compressor from Harbor Freight. Is it this one?

Will this inflate a 35 inch tire? I'm not sure what specs to look at to answer this.

well that says it will fill a "cars" flat tire in 3 minute not an suv or an oversized truck tire so i would prob double or triple that for a 35 inch tire not a bad price though at all !!

i have the Viair compressor with a tank i mounted where the exhaust used to be and put in a pressure gauge by the cupholders so i know how much PSI i have in the tank

I've got the step down from this one from harbor freight, it does okay if you are patient, I aired 4 tires from 10-12 psi to 32 in around 15 minutes. Stopped in Corolla at a gas station and finished up. The one you are asking about should do okay....

Wound up going to Pep Boys and buying a Tsunami (MV 1050), the little red one that is apparently quite popular. Haven't used it yet, but it should work, based on what I have read.
